“…Organic fertilizers, such as biols, are used in organic agriculture to improve the quantity and quality of crop yields; stimulate microbiological activity by increasing soil organic matter; or replenish nutrients present in the soil, such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) or calcium (Ca), and which are used by plants for their development (Zandvakili et al, 2019). These effects have been proven in crops such as cattle pastures and forages (Soares Filho et al, 2018), legumes (Limam et al, 2018) or lettuce (Fedeli et al, 2023). Another beneficial effect of biols is the improvement in soil structure, both biologically and physicochemically (Thomas & Singh, 2019).…”

Background Biol is one of the best-known digestates, which occurs during anaerobic digestion in biodigesters to generate biogas, using animal manure and vegetable waste. This digestate type is used in organic agriculture due to its easy application, contributing simultaneously to the circular economy and food security. Methods The objective of this study was to characterize four types of biol, generated in four anaerobic biodigesters for biogas production implemented in northern Peru fed with manure: i) pig manure; ii) cattle manure; iii) horse manure; iv) cattle manure with coffee processing water. All the biodigesters implemented had the same design but worked under different environmental conditions. Descriptive and multivalent statistics were applied to the data obtained for the parameters evaluated. Results The biols obtained had different nutritional compositions, depending on the type of substrate used. The biol from pig manure was characterized by high concentrations of bacteria, the one from cattle manure had low concentrations of nutrients in general, the one from horse manure was rich in salts, and the one from cattle manure with coffee processing water was rich in organic matter. Conclusions These results showed that all the biols obtained can be used for organic agriculture. However, their selection will depend on the nutritional requirements of the type of crop and soil where the biols are to be applied.

Mavuno' brachiariagrass (Brachiaria spp.) is a warm-season perennial grass cultivar released in Brazil with potential to be used as forage in subtropical regions. The objective of this study was to evaluate herbage accumulation (HA), nutritive value, and the persistence of Mavuno under different harvest frequencies. The experiment was conducted in Ona, FL, from April to November in 2016 and 2017. Treatments were the factorial arrangement of four grasses: Jiggs bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers], 'Tifton 85' bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.), 'Mulato II' brachiariagrass, and Mavuno and two regrowth intervals (3 or 6 wk), distributed in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. Mavuno and Mulato II had similar total annual HA (11.0 Mg ha −1 ), and in vitro digestible organic matter (IVDOM, 644 g kg −1), but greater total annual HA and IVDOM than Jiggs (7.8 Mg ha −1 and 500 g kg −1 ) and Tifton 85 (8.4 Mg ha −1 and 550 g kg −1 ). Mavuno had the least crude protein (CP) among all treatments (111 vs. 124 g kg −1 ), and CP and IVDOM were greater at the 3-wk regrowth interval than at the 6-wk interval (130 vs. 111 g kg −1 and 610 vs 548 g kg −1 , respectively). Root mass was greater at 3 wk than at 6 wk for Tifton 85 (9.4 vs. 5.4 Mg ha −1 ) but was not affected by regrowth interval for Jiggs, Mavuno, and Mulato II (6.5 Mg ha −1 ). Mavuno and Mulato II had superior HA and IVDOM, and Mavuno may be a viable forage source in subtropical regions.

Chemical fertilizers were applied on perennial tree vines to obtain high yields, which have resulted in considerable deterioration of soil quality, and it is likely to have negative impacts on the development of the grape industry. In this study, P. putida Rs-198 liquid biofertilizer (Rs198LBF) was inoculated into grape rhizosphere soils to assess its influence on grape growth and microbial community. Field experiment results showed that grape growth and quality increased depending on the concentrations of Rs198LBF applications. The berry weight, length, and width in addition with 60 ml Rs198LBF (1.44×1013 cfu ml−1 Rs-198) per grapevine treatment (BFP3) were 17.2%, 6.2%, and 4.4% higher than those of CK (control, non-inoculation) treatment, respectively. The available phosphorus contents in addition with 40 ml Rs198LBF per grapevine (BFP2) and BFP3 treatments were 12.6% and 55.3% higher than those of CK treatment (P<0.05). The activities of invertase and alkaline phosphatase were improved in BFP2 and BFP3 treatment compared with those in CK. The relative abundance of potentially beneficial bacteria significantly increased compared with that in CK treatment (P<0.05). The clusters of orthologous groups (COG) annotation illustrated that the application of 60 ml Rs198LBF increased the relative abundance of metabolic genes in rhizosphere soil. The results of this study show that biofertilizer is very effective in enhancing plant growth and affects soil community diversity.
